Link a Student to a Parent (for DnA Users)

The Parent Portal Management Tool will allow those with permission to manage parents, reset registration, add parents, add students to parents, etc. This lesson shows how to use the Parent Portal Management Tool to link a student to a parent.

Where to Start

1. Click the Administration gear on near the top of your screen, as shown above.

2. Under Parent Portal, click Manage Parents.

Search for a Parent

Go to the search box in the upper-right corner.

Type the parent's name and hit Enter on your keyboard.

Find the name of the parent for whom you are searching and click on his or her name where it is featured in blue.

Link a Student to a Parent

Click Add Student, search for the student (as described above), and click to link the student.

Note that we use the standard Student Search when adding a student to a parent, so whatever access a user normally has (to view students) will also apply here. You might notice that the list of parents is not limited to just parents with students at the given school, as doing that would prevent users from adding new students to existing parents with students at different schools.
